Future planning

"Cities are resurgent. Increasingly they’re where new jobs, economic growth, and people are all thriving. From Miami to Munich and São Paulo to Shanghai, the world’s cities are multiplying in number and growing in size."



"Already, more than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. By midcentury, that share will grow to two-thirds, the U.N. predicts. This urbanization comes at a cost, though. Infrastructure is strained. Cars are multiplying but roads are not, so congestion is worsening. And the supply of vital resources — energy, clean air and fresh water — is imperiled."
